New springs arrived and process of replacing them started. RH side done according to the book within an hour, then started on the LH side. Everything went smooth until the lower hub bolt. Nut of, but bolt stuck solid in hub. Marinated with WD40 and went of to work. Will give it a new try later on. Any good tips for releasing that bolt?
